- Beyond the Basics Coding for OMS
This online course provides the same content as the in-person Beyond the Basics Coding Workshop. It is an intermediate-level course that concentrates on topics based on the AAOMS Parameters of Care, OMS-specific procedural coding for medical and dental, coding complications and medical record documentation. This online course features comprehensive content to address coding guidance for the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition to existing coding guidance for anesthesia services, bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, it offers insight into coding dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure, surgical uprighting, tissue transfer, I&Ds, cleft palate/lip procedures, trauma, debridement and wound repairs. The course also includes instruction on the E/M coding and documentation changes that took effect in 2021 and 2023. Participants must have a basic understanding of CDT, CPT and ICD-10-CM in order to comprehend the content in this course. Basic coding knowledge or completion of the AAOMS Basic Coding for OMS and ICD-10-CM for OMS online courses is highly recommended before participating in this course. Participants will have 90 days to complete the course, which is eligible for 13 hours of continuing education credit. Pricing, course overview and registration are provided below.
The online Beyond the Basics Coding is Level II of the Coding Certificate Program (CCP).

- Coding for Implants and Bone Grafts
The AAOMS Committee on Healthcare Policy, Coding and Reimbursement presents this new online course designed for OMSs and their staff to implement correct coding initiatives for reporting bone grafts and implants and to apply these guidelines to real-life coding scenarios. This course will review processes for verifying coverage with payers, discuss workflow of all stages, provide coding tips using CDT and CPT code sets and apply appropriate coding guidelines for procedures relating to bone grafting and implants. Completion of this course requires current CPT and CDT coding books. Participants will need these to complete the clinical scenarios at the end of the course.
